Meet'n Greet

I most likely will be there as well!

Where are we meeting? Agreed date - Saturday May 14th? Time?

My wife and I really want to attend and have some fun with my fellow coal burners!!

The meet & greet will be held in Pottsville Pa 17901 on Sat May 14th 2011. I will post an itinerary of the day no later than sunday april 10th. I'm new with the forum. I need your help spreading the word with pm's or anything else. Please feel free to call me anytime between 7am-9pm 570-640-9156. Sometimes you get more accomplished with phone calls. Thanks Guys,

Matthew

8.5 hours one way for me. The budget won't allow that at $4/gallon. Sounds like I'll be missing a great time.

awe come on Smitty.... That RD could sip the gas/oil if you kept your claw out of top throttle twist mode........

and it would really give the engine paint a chanch to "bake" in?????

Hey Smitty, There is FREE beer at the Brewery!!! And you can fill your pickup with coal and cheap smokes!!!

Hey Smitty! Why don't you find some unfortunate soul to bring along for the 8.5 hr. ride. We call it carpooling, hitchn' a ride, sharing.

Hmmm .... now you got me thinkin' ...

That would be one hell of a long day on that little bike though. I'm sure I could do it, but I wouldn't be of much use once I got there. And you just CANNOT ride that bike at anything less than full bore!

All my buddies are in either in the same boat I'm in, or they have kids & soccer games. I can't catch a break!


I'd love to get down there & pound beers with all you fine gentlemen, but gotta keep the wrenches turning here so the mortgage gets paid. This year is going to be a tough one financially. Everything under the sun is going up. Just got a letter from insurance company -- they want another $150 to cover state mandated oil cleanup insurance! Grrrr!

I'll keep trying the lotto ....... then, by the next meet n greet I'll be living nearby! Gotta get out of this hellhole ....

I will try. As of right now I am committed to going. Or is that I should be committed not sure on that one?

It sounds like you'll will have a great time! You'll have to count me out though as that is the weekend my daughter is graduating from college, in completely the opposite direction no less. Take care, Lisa

I will be there and the wife said she is coming along. She is a Pottsville native and won’t let me go without her.

I'm 90% sure I can make it. What's the Mayor doing that day?

Yea, I'm about 90% sure I'm coming too. I'd probably come Friday and stay at the same place in Pottsville I stayed last time, if I could remember where that was. What was the name of the place where we all met in the morning last time John? Ramada? Holiday inn? I think I may have killed those brain cells.

It's the Ramada. If I come I will also come up Friday. I'll drive the truck with trailer and also buy coal.

Here's the hotel link:

For those wanting to see Yuengling Brewery the production bottling line does not operate on weekends. You might want to come up early on Friday.
